the cues are known for thier low deflection (very) stiff playing cues!marcus's attention to detail on his highend cues is amazing!I have had a nfew of his very high end cues and they dont last long! ... he is the only non U.S. maker i will deal with! he is germanys best cue maker and I would put him in my top 5 in the world! I only wish i had more to sell:)
 
Living in Germany and having played arthur, eurowest and vollmer cues. I?d say get yourself an arthur, if you have more money left get yourself a vollmer.

@cornerstore: nothing against arthur BUT: ask 100 german pool players about the best german cue maker. 90 will give you the same answer:

Michael Vollmer
www.vollmercue.de

learned from BB Tony
cues are expensive
very popular for a good hit ("heavy knived-in points") like BB
(thorsten hohman won the WPC with one of his cues)

all three of those guys are grade A cuemakers..
Just b/c they arent in the States isnt a reason to pass up on a cue form any of them!
 
I only have experience with his Rookie (lowest end) models.
They play very stiff, have the modern slimmer butts and were well made.
The two I owned rolled laserbeam straight too, and they weren't exactly new.
I would have no hesitation to buy one execpt I prefer softer hits.

Very fine cues indeed. Construction and playability are top notch. I have recently purchased a high end Arthur and I am very, very impressed.
 
Arthur Cue

Marcus builds an incredible cue. If you haven't looked at his inlay work up close, you're missing something special. I would compare it to Bob Manzino and Tony at Black Boar.

Also, the lady that does his scrimshaw work is by far the best I've ever seen.

I would some what agree regarding the craftsmanship because I have seen both of them cues. but performance, wise I'll decline to make any statement.

Its like comparing a BMW to a Mercedes Benz or more like a Ferrari to a Lambo


ooohhh...and btw, those vollmer cues are spectacular!!!


Just my two cents***

Nossi,

Look at the inlays on a Black Boar, look at the inlays on a Manzino.
Now look at the inlays on a Arthur. There is more than one way to look at a cue.

I'm pretty sure Jimmy was referring to the intricacy of the inlays.

Intracy of inlays was exactly what I was referring to. I am not sure why there was any negative reaction. I meant nothing negative.

Take care,
Jimmy
 
Well.. ok.

I was pretty mutch referring to the basic construction and playability. I mean... that 6point construction (heavy knifed-in) used by BB and vollmer is THE specification of the cue in my optinion. It gives them the hit they have and the basic look they have.

Just don`t know how to compare the inlays work of these cuemakers...

Edit: @Jimmyrayk: Well... turns out, we spoke about two different things... so let`s not mind this one ok? ;)

What would you choose in terms of pure playability - a plain jane Arthur cue or a plain jane Tad?
